Sort ordering

Sort ordering

It seems like "Sorting - Joomla Ordering" sorts articles by "newest first" (joomla default). How do I get JCatX to sort articles by "sorting"(manual)?

Re: Sort ordering

Workaround: Open the sql database. Goto jos_menu. Find and go to the row with the menuitem that shows the category module. Go to the column called "Params". Copy & paste the following lines at the end (Don't delete existing text):

orderby_pri=order
orderby_sec=order

Re: Sort ordering

Hello Kjartan,

The settings in the JcatX module configuration only refer to the module itself, not the article order in the blog view after you click a category in the module.

What you want to change is a Joomla default setting, which can either be edited when creating a menu item or you change the default value in the Joomla files.

To do that edit the file /components/com_content/models/category.php at line 406. Replace 'rdate' with 'order'. Then your blog view will be ordered by default by the article order.

Kind regards,
Pete
